Discover the origin of chocolatey delight with Elsa!
During this 3-hour sensory adventure, you'll be immersed in the world of cocoa while creating your very own chocolate bars.
Upon your arrival, the chocolatier will take pleasure in introducing you to her workshop. You'll then dive into the history of chocolate, learning about the principles of bean-to-bar, including bean selection, roasting methods, and much more.
You'll take charge by cracking the beans to create cocoa nibs. This is where the experience becomes truly tactile!
Using a mortar and pestle, you'll mix the cocoa nibs, cocoa butter, and sugar before pouring your chocolatey blend into moluds to bring your personalised bars to life.
At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with two chocolate bars that you've crafted from start to finish and two tasting chocolate bars ! You'll not only have a delicious chocolatey reward but also the opportunity to become a true chocolate artisan.

Meet Elsa, the passionate bean-to-bar chocolatier!
For six years, Elsa made her home in Ecuador, immersing herself in the world of sustainable tourism. It was there that she organised journeys along the cocoa route, and her fascination with this product truly took shape.
Upon returning to Europe, her passion for sustainable food led her to embark on a journey in the world of chocolate making. She pursued formal training at a renowned school of chocolate and confectionery. Elsa also honed her chocolate tasting skills through the International Institute of Chocolate and Cacao Tasting.
Elsa is a true expert in the bean-to-bar process. She sources her cocoa beans from suppliers who work directly with growers, overseeing every step of the process from roasting to cracking, and all the way through to chocolate production.
Her mission is a noble one: to elevate the work of cocoa farmers and chocolate makers alike.
Join Elsa's workshop and help restore cocoa to its rightful glory!
